7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Attire: Western— think cowboy boots, hats, sundresses, denim, plaid, or anything that makes you feel festive and comfortable. Since it’s outdoors, lightweight fabrics and comfortable shoes are a must.
Kick off the wedding weekend with us at a Western-themed welcome party! We’ll be serving dinner, beer and frozen margaritas, so come hungry and ready to celebrate. We know many of our guests are traveling from out of town, and we want to feed everyone dinner as they arrive. This event is open to all guests but not required, just our way of doing something extra and spending as much time as possible with our out-of-town friends and family.
4:30 pm - 4:45 pm
The ceremony will be brief and standing. Since we decided to get married back in January, this is more of a formality so our friends and family can be part of the moment with us. The rest of the evening will be casual, more of a cocktail party than a traditional wedding reception. Come ready to mingle, celebrate, and have a good time.
5:00 pm - 10:30 pm
In an effort to spend the most time with all of our guests, we will not be having a formal seated dinner. Instead, the evening will be casual and cocktail-style, with a generous selection of hors d’oeuvres and stations available throughout the night. Sip, savor, and enjoy at your own pace. There will be tables for relaxed seating, along with cocktail tables for mingling. Dancing will begin around 7:00 PM, and the celebration will continue with cocktails flowing all evening.
